As part of an ongoing attempt at obfuscation, mr. chung offers:

"And where I hospitalize my patients are not part of my medical
qualifications."

Yes, a statement very different in nature and practice from having
hospital privileges, it can mean only that people are sent to other
doctors who can indeed use their's in place of you having no privileges.
Or people can be sent to the er in a crisis and privileges do not then
extend to that hospital. Qualifications are set by the state, hospital
privileges is determined by each hospital, the state can say "ok" and all
hospitals "no thank you". Is the ama listing of three hospitals where you
said you have privileges valid?
